If we are generating access token directly without setuping the Oauth flow for how much time it will be valid?
Access tokens typically last about 4 hours.
And any way can we create a token or any other authentication method that we can use like instead of creating again and again create once and use until revoked ?Long-lived access tokens are no longer available. You need to use short-lived tokens along with a refresh token. Refer to the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation.

Hi Mark,
I created a app with full sandbox access in business trial account, And I generated access token directly on the same wanted to check about the expiration time ?
If we are generating access token directly without setuping the Oauth flow for how much time it will be valid?
And any way can we create a token or any other authentication method that we can use like instead of creating again and again create once and use until revoked ?
